We run the business.

What we do

We do two things.
And we do them properly.

Representation and creative services — and nothing else. We'd rather be exceptional at these than average at ten other things. Choose one, or do both.

For creators · Fully managed

Talent representation

Full management for a select roster. We pitch you to brands, negotiate the deals, handle contracts, and protect your time so you can keep creating.

Apply to the roster →
Who it's for: established creators who want a team in their corner.
Creative Services · Open to everyone

Video editing & thumbnails

An editing subscription with a dedicated, vetted editor. Built so any creator can plug in and get back polished, on-brand video — fast — without the freelancer back-and-forth.

Who it's for: any creator — you don't need to be on our roster.
Representation

Built around the creator.

We handle the parts of the business that pull you away from creating — the deals, the inbox, the negotiations, the contracts. Here's what full management looks like.

Inbox, managed

Your own @blackbulb address. We filter the noise and bring you only the offers worth your time.

Outreach & pitching

We identify the brands that fit your audience and pitch your strengths — you don't chase anyone.

Negotiation

Hard advocacy for fair rates and terms — without ever compromising your values or your schedule.

Contracts & sign-off

Legal review and finalization handled in-house, so collaborations are airtight and stress-free.

Strategy & growth

Guidance on fitting partnerships into your content while keeping it authentically yours.

Full transparency

Every email, task, and deal is visible to you. No long-term contracts, ever. Stay because it works.

The Roster

We'd rather go deep than wide.

We represent around thirty creators at a time, and feature only a few here. Fewer names means faster turnarounds, sharper strategy, and a team that stays genuinely close to each channel — not a spot on a long list.

Brands — want to partner with one of our creators? Request the roster and we'll make the introduction.

Creative Services · Video editing & thumbnails

The last editing hire
you'll ever make.

Unreliable freelancers. Months spent dialing in your style. Slow turnarounds — then a surprise rate hike the moment it's finally working. If hiring editors has been a headache, this is the fix.

Send your footage and a reference or two, and get back a finished, on-brand edit — fast. Every editor passes our rigorous in-house boot camp and is vetted to cut across any style and any niche. You're not training a freelancer; you're buying back your time.

Any style, any niche Vetted via our editor boot camp Unlimited revisions & raw footage
90%
first-video approval rate
Nine times out of ten, our very first edit for a new client is approved with no further feedback — just from footage and a reference.
Recent work

A few edits we've shipped recently.

All-inclusive plans

Ready when you are.

Three plans, every one all-inclusive — a dedicated editor, thumbnails, shorts and unlimited revisions for one flat monthly rate. Submitting a project takes a couple of minutes, and the first draft usually comes back ready to publish. Pricing and full details live on the video editing page.

Five-star rated by the creators we edit for
★★★★★

I handed them the whole folder and was blown away by what came back — the flow, the color grading, all of it. I knew I’d regret not doing this sooner.

Why we do this

Relentlessly pursuing perfection for the creators we work with.

Done obsessively well — that's the whole company. We're not the cheap option, and we don't try to be. Every deal we negotiate and every frame we cut gets real time, care, and effort, because creators deserve better than underpaid contracts and unreliable editors. Perfect is the standard; close enough isn't.

A fair deal, every time

We push for the rate and terms your work deserves — and we won't sell you short just to close a deal faster.

Editing worth the price

Bad editing burns creators constantly. We chase perfect on every cut, so you never have to settle for "good enough."
